There are a couple of little marks in the paint, but nothing too bad.
Can you guys tell me how many RPM your cougars sit on while idling, this one sounded pretty high, but its prob normal, I'm not used to smaller engines...

Oh and Focusonthis, I dont think I like the idea of your HR's car, I dont want a car with 180,000 k's on the clock. And the cloth interior is a big turn off for me too, but thanks for the heads-up.
Idle should definitely be at 750, but if you had the airconditioner on and the electric fans are on then it will go up to 950rpm. Don't know about the electric fans on the cougar but mine a way loud in my opinion, however listening to other vehicles from the outside they too can be noisy...guess it boils down to who manufactures the fans.

As long as it is idling fine, and it revs without stumbling all should be fine.

They are such a sweet engine...especially when you have a good exhaust system on them.... :
